Hi, I'm restoring an SX150 and I'm stuggling to find the Lechler code for one of the colours.
The main body is Grigio Primavera 8070 and the internals are Bianco Nuovo 8059 ( I believe ), but I'm strugglong to identify the BLUE colour used on the Panels and Horncast ??
It should be a kind of powder blue and something deep in my memory banks tells me it was similar to an old BMC colour called Pacific Blue, but I would prefer to use the correct Lechler Code colour.
Many thanks in advance for any help

I don't think you're the only one. There has been a great deal of debate about it here in the past. I don't think anybody came up with a definitive answer.

Local pal of mine has a wonderful example of an original paint unrestored SX150 for which he tried to buy matching paint for through all of the expert Lambretta channels, none of which could supply a match by number or name. Most were so far from original that he was better off as a stop-gap solution just walking into his local motorist discount shop and matching it by eye to the spray can caps... I kid you not
